Since the first Ducks Unlimited Canada project in 1938, our people have led the way in wetland conservation.
Ducks Unlimited Canada is guided by an elected board of directors, who contribute a broad range of expertise. They work with staff to engage the passion and talents of supporters and partners across the country. Everyone involved with DUC, from our president to an event volunteer, plays an important role in our conservation success.
Good Governance
We strive for good governance by demonstrating best practices, accountability and transparency in everything we do. Our annual reports and financial statements outline recent conservation activities and describe how your supporter dollars make a difference.
We also encourage you to speak up about your concerns. Our Whistle Blower Policy makes it easy to come forward in confidence with questions about our financial and operational activities.
Board of Directors
DUC’s board of directors is made up of professionals and philanthropists from across Canada and the United States. We are currently seeking volunteers of exceptional stature to join our board. Learn more about this opportunity.
